Aceyalone - Mic Check (Official Video)

[@FL6K0]

Man.. Freestyle Fellowship so slept on

[@MrMegaManFan]

"If it wasn't for a mic check, you wouldn't have a check at all" is one of my favorite punchlines in 50 years of hip-hop.

[@PacificDark]

People use the term "underrated" a lot. In this case it is very applicable. Ace is possibly the most underrated old school MC to date.

[@mahoney1360]

Growing up in LA County I remember my friends and I were crazy excited when we found out Aceyalone was putting out a solo album. Acey did not disappoint. This album was in super heavy rotation amongst my pals.

[@yayyo4253]

Im 32 from the city of El Monte and I heard about him in 2016 and i cant believe how advanced his raps were for that year. Which were the early or mid 90s when nwa was blowing up

[@js-jay1uno]

All the way from South Africa, me and friends had the cassette tape on high rotation as well in the late 90's. Got introduced to AceyAlone with the album Book of Human language. My teenage mind was blown away. AceyAlone is so underrated rated tho

[@ToneSoCooL3]

Haiku de' tat were like seeing a jazz group live, kids these days need to study the history of hip hop

[@realnube]

Same for me in Pittsburgh, PA.

[@dubpriyo7695]

Same from Chile.....around 2005

[@Carta87Blanca]

This man completely changed my taste in Hip Hop I never looked back

[@jazzlehazzle]

One of the most rhythmically interesting MCs of all time

[@DamnMixes]

One of the most naturally gifted emcees ever.

[@rayc2680]

True. Fatlip, Tajai & Keith Murray are some what I admire just as much.

[@TheCondorjc]

Aceyalone and Myka 9 be my biggest West coast emcee influences, lyrically and flow wise. Dudes have history in Hip Hop. The OGs

[@kevinscott59]

Mikah,Acey and Spoon Iodine. Their history runs deep.

[@TheCondorjc]

@@kevinscott59 oh yes. I’m aware 👍🏼 I’ve done that research.

[@princeoz17]

[@silentype3008]

He snapped on the last verse. Dear Lord.

[@eee32mmm]

way ahead of its time classic track and album WESTCOAST HIP HOP AT ITS FINEST.

[@fatz1parallelmusic]

Los Angeles' very own true hip hop godfather... a true pioneer in who makes the best hip hop known to mankind, hands down... God knows he taught many of us how to literally say f gangs, violence, and ignorance through the art form of pure, raw, uncontaminated music with no boundaries.. among many things hes a modern day Mozart.. "anyone of any background from around the world cant help but love this guy once getting to know his music, no matter what.

[@Joseph3Banks]

Still dope after all these years and still in my Top 5 emcees, period! Respect!!

[@boowh1]

Before producers an execs got into it

[@mr.e93tilinfinity49]

Myka 9 got his solo deal with Capitol in 94 before Aceyalone however after Capitol rejected all 3 albums that he turned in to them he became discouraged & never went to a major label again. The execs weren't ready for how forward thinking & free & jazzy Mike's music was, which he recorded in Brooklyn in 94-95 with folks like Talib Kweli, Ronda Brown, & other folks from Sunz of Man, Black Moon, & Smif n Wessun. The label kept trying to turn him into something he wasn't & it hampered his career in the mid 90's but then he kept putting in work in the underground & released albums with Haiku D'etat & solo albums. He's probably the most productive & consistent MC of the fellowship imo

[@CANControlGRAFFITI]

were you born under a rock??

[@blamb302]

[@CRE8T0R]
